Feelings of hopelessness and despair are common during times of emotional, mental, or physical distress. Trying to disentangle yourself from a web of circling thoughts can be a frustrating and time-consuming ordeal at times. However, keep in mind that you have support and that you can recover your strength and serenity by taking positive action. Reading or speaking aloud a healing prayer is one approach. Whether you’re struggling with issues related to health, work, family, relationships, or anything else, praying can help.
There is no way to solve the problem you’re facing right now by reading or reciting these prayers to yourself or a loved one. If this doesn’t solve your problem, you may need to consult a professional or look into other options. Prayers for healing can be a source of solace when you need it most, even if the path to recovery looks different for each person. Everyone’s mental and emotional health has been negatively impacted by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, particularly in regards to grief, loss, and pain. Prayers and encouraging words for the sick can give them hope and help them cope with the feelings of isolation and loneliness they’ve experienced (and may continue to experience) as a result of the pandemic.
You can also pass on these prayers of healing to a friend or loved one who is experiencing difficulty. Just as reading prayers for healing can give you strength, keeping them in your thoughts and prayers can bring them peace.

prayer for healing sick
Prayer for the Sick
Jesus, you control all the parts of my body, and you know when they’re not working at their best. Sickness leaves me stressed and steals time from all the things I want to be doing. I’m honest, Lord. I don’t like to be sick. But times like this also make me rest in you, so I thank you for this chance simply to wait on you.
I come to you today asking for your touch, Lord. Help me to be patient and allow you to do your work. If doctors are involved, give them wisdom, and thank you for providing the help I need, however you choose to provide. Whether this is a test, or simply a time to trust, I want my response to honor you.
As my Good Shepherd, I know you will lead me beside quiet places and restore my soul and body. I trust you and want to follow your leading. Help me to welcome this time not as an interruption in my carefully planned schedule, but as an opportunity to draw strength and nourishment for the journey ahead. You are my healer and my Great Physician. I look to you and give thanks for the promises in your Word that assure me of your presence and your help.
Teach me what you want me to learn during these unpleasant times, Lord. Help me not to take out my discomfort on those around me, and show me how to be a good patient while I’m recovering. In these days of sickness, Lord, I’m trusting you and asking you to make me well. And when you’ve restored my health, give me wisdom so I can treat my body as the temple of your Spirit. I’m eager to get back on my feet serving you, but I realize that even in sickness, I can still draw near to you.
Thank you, Jesus. Amen! – Rebecca Barlow Jordan

A Prayer to Ease Pain
Almighty Father, Thank you for your love, grace, and mercy. I pray that my discomforts will turn to comforts, my pains to gains, my deprivation to more blessings, my losses to profits, my tear to smiles, my sorrows to pleasures, my illness to wellness, my debts to credits, and my dreams to realities.
As the scripture said, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” And he “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
I trust in you Lord and in you alone to heal me with any form of skepticism towards blessing that you will be employed upon me. I trust, Lord, that this agony and suffering that is only in my head, will come to end and positivism will shine upon me as I read, hear, study, and preach the truth in the Bible. Amen.

prayer for sick child
Prayer for a Sick Child
It’s hard to imagine a love that trumps a mother’s for her child, especially when they are sick. When they miss out on fun things or are in pain, our hearts ache for them. We would do almost anything, sacrifice what we could, to heal them, make them smile again, see them well. The love of God surpasses what we can comprehend. The Father that gave His own Son, can be trusted to heal our littles. Father, bless and heal our children of their sicknesses. Restore their laughter, and let them play. Stir us to trust You more, and seek You harder. For just as You know us, You know our children. We are entrusted with them as mothers, but they are Yours. And You love them with the same extravagant love. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. ~ Meg Bucher

Prayer for Healing Sick Friend
Heavenly Father,
It is so hard to watch _ suffer. It doesn’t seem fair for her to have to endure so much pain. Even though I am powerless, I believe that you are powerful and capable of stepping into this situation and completely altering the outcome. In faith, I am responding to the promises in your word that you listen to our prayers and those prayers can make her well. So, I am bringing my friend before you to ask for your healing touch in her life. Thank you for the forgiveness of sin and the promise of eternal healing, but I am asking you to provide healing for her on this side of heaven. Amen. – Lisa Samra
